i mean, there's a whole thing where movies insist on basically every single actor being conventionally attractive these days.
It's something that stood out to me about Project Hail Mary, the government lady is violently german looking and that's fucking rare to see in big movies these days

    have you tried different kinds of sunscreen? The stuff i use is just an oil (well, it's oily at least) that you spray on and rub in, it says nothing about needing to be rinsed off and i've never felt a need to do so, and it doesn't really have a smell nor does it feel any weirder than being slightly sweaty.

    i barely see the point of passkeys anyways, you can do 90% the same thing with a password manager which 1) keeps your credentials under your own control, and 2) adds another layer of security by encrypting your list of "passkeys" (i.e. very long passwords).

    I think we're at the point where trying to identify things as specifically AI-generated is becoming too difficult to be worth it, i'd say just start generally filtering out things that aren't made in good faith.
    I've been judiciously telling youtube to not recommend me channels that post sensationalized/inflammatory/etc content whenever they show up in my recommendations, and the algorithm has mostly given up on trying to brainwash me at this point.

    My rule of thumb is that anything that isn't borderline fucking boring is probably trying to manipulate me, if a dry wikipedia-style description isn't interesting then i see no reason to bother with it.

    can we please stop acting like the way the light is produced somehow magically makes it worse?
    It's the fact that the lamps are ILLEGAL AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS that makes them bad. You should not be able to walk into a gas station and buy things that are ILLEGAL to put in your car.
    There are plenty of people driving around with LED lights in their cars, you just don't think about it because they meet the legal specifications and thus look identical.

    the thing with openwrt is that you have the freedom to fuck it up, which is exactly what tends to happen to people who know enough to come up with the idea of installing a different OS on their router.
    So you really should make sure that you'll be able to deal with it when you eventually fuck something up because you wanted to configure the blinking pattern of the LEDs or whatever.

    Though to be fair openwrt makes it fairly easy to back up configurations and just reinstall everything from scratch
